Josko Gvardiol on his way to Manchester City after RB Leipzig accept fee

<p>

Manchester City and RB Leipzig have come to an agreement over defender Josko Gvardiol's transfer fee, which is £77.5million. </p>

<p>

The Bundesliga side were said to be holding out for a fee of €100m (£86m) for the Croatia international, but City have been able to push the transfer through at a price that suits them. </p>

<p>

The 21-year-old is due in Manchester before the end of the week for a medical, Planet Sport understands. </p>

<p>

Gvardiol would add competition on the left side of City's defence, having helped Croatia reach the semi-finals of the 2022 World Cup and then the final of the Nations League, where they were beaten by Spain. </p>

<p>

Midfielder Mateo Kovacic is so far City's only summer signing, with the Croatian having moved from Chelsea in June. </p>

<p>

City saw captain Ilkay Gundogan leave for Barcelona on a free transfer and Riyad Mahrez last week completed a switch to Saudi Arabia club Al-Ahli in a £30m deal. </p>

<p>

The Premier League champions will take on Arsenal in the FA Community Shield at Wembley on Sunday. </p>
